When I was getting ready for mine, I switched to an all-liquid diet ahead of time. Really seemed to help. The “special prep” stuff you have to drink says to start taking it a certain number of hours (24?) before your procedure. I started drinking nothing but clear broth 24 hours before that. By the time I started the special prep laxative, my insides were pretty much clear of solids already. I had a much easier time than my wife did a couple years earlier. “YES!” to the baby wipes.Also, I stocked up on the allowed flavors of Power-Ade — I thought it tasted better than Gatorade, and was slightly cheaper per bottle.

been there. done that.
on the bright side – I did not look/feel as white/green as Beardo.
pro tips -
baby wipes. I don’t care how soft your TP is, you were not designed to use it 100 times in an evening.
make sure you have a book handy or your phone is charged if you swing that way. unless you have a TV in the bathroom, you’re going to get bored.
